जनिष्ट योषा पतयत्कनीनको वि चारुहन्वीरुधो दंसना अनु । आस्मै रीयन्ते निवनेव सिन्धवोऽस्मा अह्ने भवति तत्पतित्वनम् ॥

Transliteration

janiṣṭha yóṣā patáyat kanīnakaḥ ví cā́ru-hanvī́rudho daṃsanā́ ánu | ā́smāi rīyante nivanéva síndhavo 'smā́ ahné bhavati tát patitvánam ||

Translation

Anak dara itu lahir; budak muda melayang menuju dirinya; kuasa-kuasa yang berahang elok mengikuti kemahiran kerja. Kepadanya aliran-aliran mengalir seperti ke cerun yang menurun; baginya, pada hari itu, keadaan penguasaan—kesuamiaan—menjadi wujud.
